The Inner Life of Animals: Love, Grief, and Compassion--Surprising Observations of a Hidden World by Peter Wohlleben

4.5

emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring reflective relaxing medium-paced

Lovely book. The author uses a combination of personal anecdotes and scientific material to paint a picture of how animals experience life, and how humans affect that. Wohlleben's voice is so charming that even the acknowledgments are a joy to read. The inclusion of so many stories from his own life give the book a memoir-like feel. The writing evokes a sense of calm without being boring. Definitely worth a read, even if you're not usually a nonfiction reader.
